I (female) go to an incredibly sexist all girls school and hearing so many students say that 'all men are horrible and that we might as well live wihtout them' makes me so angry because of how fucked up it is

there are a whole range of people, from non-binary to very lesbian to straight at my school which is cool, lots of diversity. But so many of them genuinely hate men. I've heard girls say that 'being a man is the default gender' and that 'men can't be oppressed'. Both of which are so inherently wrong, firstly, there is no 'default gender', we all know very well you can't choose your gender, you're either born it or feel very much like that gender so you transition, so saying there's a default, makes 0 sense, and is sexist. Secondly, men can and are oppressed, there are countless accounts of male people being raped by women on this sub and many other places! And not only that, these people are actively oppressing men! OH THE IRONY.

I get really pissed whenever i hear this sexist talk go around the people at my school (i hear it all the time) so obviously i had to ask. I've asked a few people why they think all men are bad and their answers all go something along the line of 'well in the past men have oppressed women ect. ect.'... yes they do speak the truth here, but that was in the past, aka not now, times have changed. Another argument is that 'Men rape women, so they're all bad and untrustworthy', true, women do get raped. But, so do men, and this also doesn't mean every man under the sun is a rapist - quite the contrary actually! I remember one time talking with a group of friends (i use friends very loosely here) discussing being trans and discussing pronouns - one of the girls in our group was questioning their gender - and one of these fuckers said this: 'I don't want to go by he/him because of the things associated with it'. hello?????? The things associated with the male gender?????? It's a gender.

I really don't understand their logic or point of view, especially when I've heard a few too many of these feminazis spout nonsense like 'Well men have never really been oppressed like women have so it's ok to be sexist, but i don't think it's sexist, i think it's karma'. Where did these ideas come from??? What happened to fighting for equality???? And why on Earth do I have to talk to these people practically every day.

edit: I've got a few comments saying that this post was designed to do well here or that I'm just confirming to what Reddit wants for karma and I really want to make this clear. That is WRONG. I'm not looking for karma I just really wanted to share my experience and to express my anger, because obviously this type of thing pisses me off. I'm not a pickme girl, I am just a girl who wants equal rights for everyone. To everyone else though, thanks for the support it's really good to know that the world isn't full of the people like the ones around me.
